Coleus Forskohlii: – The theory behind Coleus Forskohlii is that Forskohlii can be used to stimulate adenylate cyclase activity, which will increase CAMP levels in the fat cell, which in turn activates another enzyme (hormone sensitive lipase) that breaks down fat storage.

5. Folic Acid: – Taking a supplement with Folic Acid lowers homocysteine levels; according to a report in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (omocysteine is an amino acid associated with a greater risk of heart disease). Previous studies have indicated that Folic Acid can lower homocysteine levels.
